You Can Depend on Truth

Abraham Lincoln once said that no man has enough memory to make a good liar. Under pressure a man would tell a lie and then be forced to tell twenty more to cover the first one.  Somewhere along that process, he would forget and tell the truth, and then he would be revealed.

What distinguishes great people today is they always act like the truth supports them. They never feel the necessity to prove the existence of the truth. When we always tell the truth, we never have to worry about saying the wrong thing. Sometimes saying the truth will make you not as spectacular as you would like to be, but the truth will allow you to be who you are. You will never feel it is necessary to prove the existence of the truth.

Truth is the fiber of God’s order. We can defy the truth but only at our own peril! The universe does not alter its course to suit our compass. The truth is written in us. We do not break the truth, we break ourselves.

II Corinthians 13:8: “We can do nothing against the truth.”
